Genesis is reborn with Gismondi 1754

Published on June 5, 2023

Bracciale in oro rosa e zaffiri rosa di Gismondi 1754

Can a genesis be reborn? It can, if it is the jewelry collection signed by Gismondi 1754. Launched in 2020, the collection is renewed on the occasion of the Couture Show in Las Vegas, in which the Genoese company participated. The inspiration of the jewelry collection is linked to the shape of the primitive structure shell of the Indian Ocean: the Nautilus. The image of the shell has reappeared in the memories of Massimo Gismondi CEO and creative director of the Maison linked to a visit to the Natural History Museum of Genoa with his son. The simple yet elegant structure of the Nautilus is also a compendium of mathematics.

Collezione Genesi, anello in oro rosa e zaffiri rosa — Genesi collection, ring in pink gold and pink sapphires

The Nautilus shell perfectly reproduces the Golden Spiral, a geometric progression studied by Leonardo Fibonacci, the great Pisan mathematician of the thirteenth century, placed at the base of his famous numerical progression in which he marveled at discovering how this design, in nature, repeats itself similar in a multitude of examples, from the shape of galaxies to the arrangement of rose petals or sunflower seeds.

The collection consists of rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets in pink gold and pink sapphires, or with white diamonds, emeralds and white ceramic, chosen because it is more resistant than enamel and its color is unalterable. Baked in the oven at 50 degrees for 48 hours, it is then cut following the desired shape of the drops to which gold edges are applied and joined to the jewel. Each jewel in the collection is handmade. From his inspiration comes the drawing, subsequently elaborated in 3D through the use of software. Hence the creation of the prototype with wax casting. Once further corrections have been made to the prototype, it will be ready to be crafted in gold.

Ceramics and high jewelery with Picchiotti

Published on April 24, 2023

alta gioielleria

For some time now, the world of fine jewelery has rediscovered the use of ceramic material to create bracelets, rings or necklaces. Picchiotti too has decided to explore the creative possibilities offered by ceramics with a series of jewels that creatively interpret some stylistic signs of art deco. As is the tradition of the Piedmontese Maison, these are always high quality pieces, gathered under the name of Gem Ceramics. They are unique pieces that recall all the characteristics that make Picchiotti’s jewels recognizable, but with a touch of innovation: large gems and elegant opaque stones, emerald-cut diamonds, sophisticated precious stones and a clear processing of black or white ceramic.

The use of special ceramic for jewellery, which adds strength to the aesthetic aspect, is extended to a series of bracelets, including those of the Xpandable collection. These jewels, like the others in the collection, also combine the design with the characteristic of elasticity, which allows the jewel to adapt to the size of the body wearing them, without the need for a closure. The bracelets are enriched with diamonds, rubies from Mozambique or sapphires from Sri Lanka.

One pair of earrings features two diamonds of 2.5 carats each. Other high jewelery bracelets are defined by the geometric patterns of the ceramic next to pink or yellow sapphires, including one weighing almost 8 carats. In addition to ceramics, gold and diamonds, the series of art deco bracelets also includes the use of coral and turquoise.

Marion Vidal, new architectures

Published on February 24, 2023

The new bijoux-designs by the French designer and architect Marion Vidal ♦︎

Take a few ceramic elements, add small Carrara marble segments and join them with plexiglas thermoformed and hand polished in the South of France. Now sauté with gilt brass and, if necessary, a dash of vermeil. Mix well and, if you have carefully followed Marion Vidal’s recipe, you will obtain a pleasant, modern, lively jewel.

Orecchini in plexiglass e ottone dorato 24 carati

But, in fact, if you really want to imitate the French designer, you also need an architecture degree, like that of Marion Vidal, who interprets her bijoux as if they were compositions of elements from which a project for a monument, a house, a cathedral must arise . Made, however, according to the most essential, almost subversive philosophy of architecture. Imagine, therefore, conceiving a jewel by carefully studying surfaces and volumes, weight and shades, without considering the addition of secondary, redundant details. It is the goal that Marion Vidal has reached, and that is repeated with the new collections.

Marion Vidal’s jewels can be found in her boutique in Paris, but also in the online shop on the site, as well as in various cities of the world, from Los Angeles to Seoul, in the shops of some stylists (Paul Smith in London, Christian Wijnants in Antwerp ), and even in museums (Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris or in jewelery galleries (Macle in Beyrouth).

The raku jewels by Francesca Trubbianelli

Published on October 2, 2022

The raku jewels by Francesca Trubbianelli. Don’t you know what raku means? Well, read here ♦

Big and eye-catching, yet very light: these are the jewels by Francesca Trubbianelli, made with the raku ceramic technique. This is a centuries-old Japanese tradition used to make the bowls of the tea ceremony, which the Umbrian artist has adapted on her jewels working by subtraction on a heavy material like clay (if you want to know more about this technique click here) . All the pieces are made entirely by hand and are inspired by the depths of the earth, the fire that burns inside, melts everything and unites, and then water that cools and fixes. A bit like the ceramic process.

The consistency, the gravity, the darkness of the earth take on conical and round shapes, forged on the surface by irregular spheres, which take light with the enamel and are tied together by soft, bright and warm threads of fabric such as velvet and cashmere. To put on the heart. Born in Assisi (Umbria), where she lives and works, Francesca Trubbianelli graduated from the Perugia Academy of Fine Arts in 2005. She is then specialized in Raku ceramics and technique with a course taught by the American artist David Davinson. Today she organizes courses to teach this ancient technique.

Can ceramic jewelry be trusted?

Anelli della collezione Enlanced in oro rosa e ceramica

Is it reliable to buy a ceramic jewel? Are ceramic jewels fragile? Here is the answer ♦

Durable, very resistant and incredibly light: the use of ceramic in jewelry is an unstoppable trend thanks to the technology that today allows to obtain a resistant material. Do not worry that it is fragile: the new ceramic used in jewelry is made of a kind of new steel that has nothing to do with the fragility of the flower pots or the dishes to contain the food (even if there are small producers who still use traditional ceramics: be careful). For those who are doubtful: this ceramic is made with titanium carbide, a compound similar to tungsten carbide, used in the aerospace industry, in the production of weapons and tools. And the most surprising aspect is that very little wear: in practice, the ceramic always looks new.

It is therefore not surprising that major brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Bulgari, Cartier and Gucci, de Grisogono, Solange Azagury-Partridge or Damiani and Demeglio have chosen it to give their creations, especially timeless icon jewels, an indestructible strength lightened by the beauty of the design. For example, in the B.Zero1 line by Bulgari, in the rings with the Gucci monogram, in the bands of the Cartier Trinity motif and in the Clous theme by Louis Vuitton. All timeless pieces also for their resistance.

Anello in ceramica, oro rosa e zaffiri rosa by Shay

And Wallace Chan, one of the greatest jewelers-artists, a couple of years ago developed an incredible indestructible porcelain and five times harder than steel, a material that allows him to create jewelry, but also sculptures, which could not be made with other elements. In short, a very different material from the ceramic used for jewelry in the Victorian era.

Wallace Chan, anello con ceramica e zaffiri

Positive aspects: tech ceramic jewels are not scratched, they are very resistant, they can be easily cleaned with water and a few drops of detergent on a damp cloth.

Negative aspects: they do not have the same value as gold and in case of sale they are less quoted. A ceramic ring cannot be reduced or enlarged.

The new uncompromising geometries of Etho Maria, a maison that combines ceramic and diamonds ♦

Born in the home of philosophy, Athens, Etho Maria has chosen the philosophy of luxury with a bit of surprise. The Maison, which from Greece soon expanded to the rest of Europe and the USA, is anchored to the idea of jewelery with much geometry. Not by chance Euclid and Archimedes was not Greek. Geometry, but precious. And surprising. Like when Etho Maria presented a collection that combines red ceramic with sparkling white diamonds. No doubt a combination that has remained in the memory. The idea, among other things, has earned awards such as the Diamond Classic at the Centurion Design Awards 2018 and the Editor’s Choice at the 2017 Centurion Design Awards in Scottsdale, Arizona.

In addition to red ceramics, the Maison has also decided to use the ceramic-diamond pair also with other colors, like white. The effect always works. Alongside this series of jewels that use an innovative aesthetic to an equally refined goldsmith technique, the Maison offers more traditional jewels, but always with a design that does not forget the modern style which, for example, does not omit stones cut with the shape of the triangle. Jewels that have been chosen by luxury chains, such as Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue for ad hoc sales.

The sensual knots of Fawaz Gruosi

Published on June 8, 2022

Rings/Showroom

The knot unites, ties and, if it is a jewel, it is a symbol of love. As long as it is a special knot and, above all, that it is a pride to wear. Fawaz Gruosi, the great Italian-Lebanese jeweler, who founded his house in London with work in Geneva, proposes the theme of the knot in his personal interpretation. The Enlanced collection plays with intertwined gold, diamonds and ceramics. The jewels are made of white or rose gold with the typical enveloping style of Fawaz Gruosi. The oval shapes combine in different ways, from earrings to rings to pendants, but the design is always based on two elements. In the ring, for example, an oval wraps around the finger and curves around the skin. The second, although intertwined within the structure, is completely untied.

A game that is also a demonstration of goldsmith’s skill, as well as a refined example of design. Even in the hoop earring the design has the jeweler’s signature, with two ovals that fit together: the first on the front of the ear, the second starts in front before wrapping itself behind. The ceramic is presented in three variants: ivory, black and turquoise. But there are also jewels in semi or full diamond pavé versions. Diamonds, in particular, are generously sized for a pave, but are placed tightly together to leave as little metal as possible between them.

Etienne Perret, diamonds and more

Ceramic rings, colored diamonds, pearls: the work of Etienne Perret, Swiss transplanted in Maine ♦

It is for 40 years one of the greatest designers of diamonds: Etienne Perret, of Swiss origin, working in the USA, Maine. He won two awards Diamonds of Distinction and was twice a finalist in the prestigious Diamonds International Design Competition. But he is not only an expert gemologist: he is also a jewelry designer. “I based my career on the idea that jewelry should be designed to be a complement to a woman. An object not only beautiful, but also wearable. It has to fit like a glove and not compromising on comfort, “he said.

This is also why the designer also uses materials such as ceramics, often combined with colored diamonds. And not only those now common, as the brown or champagne tone: it is actually able to make collections that have almost all colors of the rainbow. But not only. Even colored pearls occupy an important place in its proposal for jewelry. The shapes are amazing, sinuous, enveloping, with which manages to combine a European style with a touch of eccentricity American.

A hand for Valentine’s Day from Flonia

Published on February 4, 2022

/COLLANE

A hand destined for love. It is the choice, different from the usual icons, of the young Italian brand Flonia. On the occasion of Valentine’s Day, the brand founded by the designer Sara Florio offers a bijoux with an original flavor, starting with the name. The bijou is, in fact, called Sacred to me. There is a reason. It is a necklace consisting of a pendant depicting a hand, which is also one of the symbols of the brand. The pendant is made of porcelain, painted and hand made. A sacred heart is drawn on the palm of the hand (which explains the name of the pendant). The heart is linked to the religious iconographer and, at the same time, equates the feeling of love with a spiritual dimension. This is why the name, Sacred for me, is written on the back of the pendant. Flonia’s proposals are available on the brand’s e-commerce site.

The royal flowers of Meissen

Meissen is not only one of the most famous brands in the world for ceramics. For some time the German house has been offering a good production of jewelry. Of course, jewelry often also uses ceramic elements, a material that has also been chosen by other big brands or by artist-designers such as Wallace Chan. But the Meissen porcelain jewelry production is much older: it dates back to the beginning of the manufacture, in the 18th century. Under the aegis of royal court jeweler and goldsmith Johann Jacob Irminger, the factory was already producing accessories in white porcelain as early as 1714, only a few years after the invention of this new material. In short, today’s Meissen jewels continue an ancient tradition.

Anello in oro giallo, ceramica, diamante

An example description is the 1739 Royal Blossom spring mood collection. The porcelain flowers are handmade and in each of them there is a white diamond set. The flowers are mounted on 18K yellow or pink gold. The date to which the collection refers has a precise meaning: this decorative motif was created in 1739 at the behest of King Augustus III for his wife Maria Josepha. And nearly 300 years later, porcelain flowers have been reinterpreted as jewels.

A new set for Damiani’s D.Icon collection

Published on February 17, 2020

Rings/COLLANE

The D.Icon collection is one of the major successes of Damiani fine jewelry. According to the Piedmontese Maison, the collection represents the most recent evolution of the goldsmith’s art: the Damiani craftsmen of Valenza have introduced hi-tech ceramics in the traditional processing of gold and diamonds, creating an elegant and fascinating collection, with a modern and exclusive design.

The collection was presented years ago and is continuously renewed. For example, a set was recently announced that includes two rings and a pendant in the black ceramic version with D in pink gold or in full pavé of white diamonds. The shape of the rings and the pendant is the usual one: an enveloping design and, thanks to the ceramic, also pleasant to wear, with the classic D that becomes the hallmark. In addition to rings and necklace with pendant, the collection also includes bracelets and earrings. The indicative price for a ring ranges from 990 euros to 2,090 euros for those with the addition of white diamonds.

On the snow with Nach’s bijoux

Published on December 13, 2019

A ring to wear at Christmas, or in the mountains? Here is an idea: Nach’s bijoux (also available online), a French company based in Toulouse, which offers porcelain jewelry. The story of Nach is linked to that of a family: a world leader in porcelain miniatures with animal figures for almost 30 years, Christian Koch passed his passion to his two daughters.

Each piece is still made entirely by hand, from porcelain production, to painting, to final assembly. All jewels are signed and registered. It is the only brand in the world that offers a similar level of quality. Along with porcelain, other materials are also used, gold plated brass, leather, rope, feathers. The result is a series of jewels with animal or fruit figures. With this technique rings are made, but also earrings, brooches, bracelets and necklaces. The prices are limited: for a bracelet it goes from 36 to 120 euros. Giulia Netrese

The new creations by Wallace Chan, with his indestructible ceramic, on show in London ♦ ︎

The teacher. The artist. The innovator. Wallace Chan is all three of these definitions at the same time. For example, just a couple of years ago he developed an incredible indestructible porcelain and five times harder than steel, a material that allows him to create jewelry, but also sculptures, which could not be made with other materials.

And for the European public, Wallace Chan presents some of his most recent (and rarefied) jewelry creations in London. The exhibition is entitled Shapeshifter: The Multiverse of Wallace Chan (September 14-17, Asia House). It is also the third and final stage of this traveling exhibition, over time arrived at 20 pieces, with unbreakable porcelain. In addition, the exhibition includes ten large titanium sculptures, the metal favorite of the Hong Kong artist-jeweler. Another invention of the jeweler is the Wallace Cut, a technique of engraving in a transparent stone or crystal, which combines faceting and carving techniques. The result of this delicate work is a multidimensional optical illusion, which reveals four additional images of the incision if they are observed on the front face.

Some of these pieces have already been presented in New York and Hong Kong, others are new. Among the most interesting pieces is the Garden of Dreams pin, which uses porcelain that is repeatedly carved and baked. The filaments of the flower are in blue-green titanium and the anthers are made with red precious stones. The first creation with the special porcelain is, instead, a ring entitled A New Creation, which combines white porcelain with blue sapphire, aquamarines and pavé diamonds. Federico Graglia

Roberto Demeglio presents Scacco, a collection of bracelets and rings in ceramic, gold and diamonds ♦

Scacco: black and white square, or other opposite colors, which alternate. Chess also indicates an ancient and intelligent game of Persian origin. And now, even a jewelry collection. The line of jewelery presented by Roberto Demeglio at Baselworld is called Scacco. And, not surprisingly, the collection arrives ten years after the one dedicated to another game, the Domino. Scacco is an evolution of Domino, and also of the other connotative collection, Pura. Easy to guess the geometric motif of the collection. Maybe chess? You guessed it.

The alternation of colors and the creation of bracelets or rings made of tiles is part of the style of the Turin Maison.

Like the other collections that have made the brand famous, Scacco is composed of ceramic elements assembled on a patented indestructible system, which makes each piece flexible and elastic. Each piece is so adaptable to the wearer’s wrist or finger: not a minor aspect for those who want to wear a jewel all day long. Next to white or black ceramic, Scacco uses gold, white or pink, and a fine pavé of diamonds that can also cover the entire surface of the jewel. Giulia Netrese

Pure as water, pure as youth, pure (above all) like gold. It’s named Pura Oro the Roberto Demeglio collection that introduces in its catalog the most classic metal of jewelery. Yes, because the specialty of the Turin Maison is ceramics, used together with precious stones and worked ad hoc for jewelry.

The Pura Oro collection is instead made of gold and diamonds: it is added to the previous line called simply Pura and is made of ceramic.

The design of the jewelry recalls that of the other Roberto Demeglio collections, but this time in gold, in the three classic colors yellow, pink or white. In addition to the metal, white and brown diamonds are added. Like the other Roberto Demeglio collections, the Pura collection consists of elements mounted on springs in stainless steel with a patented anti-breaking mechanism, which guarantees comfort for the wearer. The Pura Oro collection is available in two sizes and includes bracelets and elastic rings. Alessia Mongrando

Damiani expands the D.Icon family, the collection of the Piedmontese brand that uses the marriage between gold and ceramics, to which are added small diamonds. The novelty is represented by the D.Icon, with candy pink color ring, a delicate and very feminine nuance. The whole collection plays on softness, with very rounded shapes and rather soft tones. There is another reason for using such a design: the shape is designed to also evoke the Damiani letter D.
The range of the D.Icon collection includes necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings, and is one of the most popular lines of the Maison of Valenza. Over the years, the D.Icon jewelery line has expanded from the classic black and white to the most trendy shades such as cappuccino and sugar paper. And now, here is the pink color.

Pure elegance. Pure fantasy. Pure passion. These may have been the ideas that the jeweler of Turin Roberto Demeglio had in mind when he created the Pura collection. Now the designer has innovated the line of jewelery using his particularly original (and patented) technique. Pura evolution has black and white tennis bracelet variants that take on a more fashionable look. They are introduced in the collection of white and black diamonds sequentially embedded on individual hi-tech ceramic elements. The approach of the stones with white or black ceramic, proposed with glossy or satin finish, creates a continuity effect or, conversely, a contrast in the tones.
There are not only diamonds. Ceramic, a very durable material, also has sapphires in the three shades of blue, yellow and pink, as well as rubies. From the basic version with a single castone, the collection offers many declinations, to the most precious one in which each ceramic element is decorated with a stone, mounted in a white gold castor or yellow gold, authentic chest.

Garavelli wins the Couture Design Awards with a gold jewel and diamonds ♦ ︎

Last year at the Couture Design Awards there was no Italian name either. This year is different. Among the winners, in fact, there is also Garavelli, a historic company in Valenza, which was first in the category of Diamonds under $ 20,000. Gaining points at Garavelli was his bracelet in gold and diamonds, certainly a jewel of great impact. Black color is the result of a process called nanoceramic, but it has nothing to do with ceramic productions: it is a finish, a color, that is gold.
Elisabetta and Stefano Molina, designer and gemmological soul of the brand that is going to be one hundred years (in 2020) can be legitimately satisfied. The process has already been used for one of Garavelli Aldo’s most successful collections (the full name of Maison), such as the Dragon Jewelry line, where aesthetics combines technology. In the case of the prize jewel, the jewel has a wavy volume, defined by squares that are delimited by thin lines made up of diamonds. Lavinia Andorno

The novelties are the soft pink shades, red, electric blue and brown. The ceramic color, material made with special techniques that make it resistant like a hard stone, represent an evolution for the designer, who has based his debut on the black and white. The bracelet Aura is available in different versions, with one, two or three rows.
